Excellent editing environment
Very simple to work with using VoiceOver and the developer is quick to respond to any questions.WhiplashZamboniMan
Bought Pro Right Away!
Absolutely excellent app thus far! I’ve been looking for a really clean, easy to use, and functional note/markdown app. Since this app shows so much promise and the developer is obviously active, I went for the pro features. I greatly look forward to added functionality since I’ll be using it for a lot of my day to day. It’ll be awesome to see if there will be added functionality for calendar/reminder integration as well. Great work!Show lessTheRealCJsparks

Thanks for being supportive!Excellent Scripting Functionality
An amazing JS API, including functionality for creating custom user interfaces, makes this app extremely powerful!Shashank Rajesh
Not free at all
There is a steep learning curve, and it is rather buggy, but I dealt with it because of promises of it being at least partly free.
After an update, it is all just nags for money. Every button, everything. Open a file on you iPad, and it diverts to this app, shows up, asks for money, and closes it. They have to tease you by showing it for a moment, too.
So, if you want a buggy text editor without copy, paste, text file support, or find, here it is.
Hopefully, this review goes through. I’ve tried to post a negative review many times for months, but they never show. I have given reviews of other apps, so I guess it’s this app only. Anyway, can’t stand fighting this app every time I open a text file. Good riddens.Show lessMetaldeth2000
Wonderful
I absolutely love this app. I already bought the Pro license. This is what all text editors should be.
I am excitedly awaiting the macOS version...I hope my license varies over 🤞haig_n
Confusing, limited directory access
Judging by all of their glowing reviews, it is possibly that I am just not the right user for this app. As a new user, I found the app difficult. I did figure out how to create, edit and preview a markdown file, but not before running into many, many buttons, which, when clicked show a “pro only” message without telling what it does and how it woks- frustrating, confusing. It is also not immediately clear how to get in and start writing, which seems not the best for a writing app (my favorite markdown editor at the moment is typora, which is super clean, but not available for ipad). It seems taio might be doing something interesting with their clipboard feature, but I could not figure out how it works. Lastly, as others have mentioned, there seems to be no way to access files on google drive / dropbox which limits the utility of this app for my purposes.Show lessBen Mat.

Thanks for the feedback. We will be clearer for what does Taio Pro do in subsequent updates. Support for other locations is planned, however, we have something to say here. In an ideal world, every cloud service should provide a perfect File Provider (E.g., Working Copy), and then, editors or document apps can get their files without doing anything. The story here is that so many services lack of implementation for File Provider, so we decided to support iCloud **first**. Feel free to send any feedback to us, best wishes.Amazing Find!!
I have been in search of a plain text markdown editor to use for a companion app with Obsidian. Prior to Taio, I was using 1Writer. The latter got me by, but the app was clunky! Using Taio for a week now, it is well polished, nice UI, fast and feature rich. It is a pleasure to use. The developer really seems to care. He helped with an issue I was having, be it my own ignorance, rather than app related problems.
Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.Show lessHarvison

Thanks for the review, and please keep sending feedback!Excellent
This relatively new editor already is a great markdown editor. It the Actions concept is great and offers a lot of flexibility and potential. I just purchased a lifetime license.Green Carot
Great Obsidian Companion
My favorite way to take typed notes on my Mac is with the Obsidian app, but that app lacks a mobile counterpart; this is where Taio comes in. With Taio, I can edit the markdown files that I create in Obsidian by taking advantage of its iCloud Drive integration. The provision of a plethora of editor themes enhances the user experience and the support for back links is second to none and is what makes this app feel tailor-made for Obsidian users.
The two main features that I wish Taio had were Dropbox sync, since I prefer to use Dropbox as opposed to iCloud for cloud storage, and native Spotlight search, so that I can open a document in Taio directly from Spotlight.
Regarding appearance, it would be nice if the themes worked in the preview and editor modes, since they currently only work in editor mode. Additional themes or the ability to make your own themes would be cool as well, but I don’t consider those to be must-have features.
Overall, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using Taio and consider it to be one of the three best note-taking apps on iOS, right alongside Bear and Craft Notes.Show lessGhostfly48

Thanks for your feedback! Locations other than iCloud are something we are thinking about, as well as customizable rendering templates. Speaking of Spotlight support, we will probably add it after we implemented full text search. Thanks!Longing for other cloud services!
Love the design of this especially the actions available. Good for the hard work!
However, my files are all in OneDrive, so now it’s not very convenient for me. If a changed is made on other device, accessing it in ‘Recents’ wouldn’t show the change but a old copy would be saved.
I’m happy to know that the devs are considering this function, I just want to say that I am one of who really needs this. : )Show lessAnon in Apple

Thanks for the feedback. We are thinking about adding services like Dropbox and OneDrive.
